Scribe, Eugene. (1791-1861). Autograph Letter and Manuscript. From the important French playwright and librettist who collaborated with nearly every major opera composer of his time in both France and Italy. His libretti were set by Verdi, Bellini, Auber, Halevy, Boieldieu, Donizetti, Rossini and Meyerbeer, for whom he was working on L'Africaine at the time of his death.
A fine one-page autograph letter, addressed to Madame Sensier who he refers to as his "aimable et jolie camarade de college." The letter is accompanied by a rare 4-page autograph manuscript, a discussion on the college of Sainte Barbe, where Scribe completed his studies. Apparently intended as an address to the administration of the college, the manuscript discusses Scribe's time there, its influences on him, and seems have to been sent to him by its author, possibly the Madame Sensier of the letter.
